I would like to see an introduction course on how to call/use separate functions. i.e. Private Subs and such.

Kind of a rundown on the differences between Private, Public, Static, etc... and when/how to use a Sub versus a Function?

at the moment i have this book ~AutoCAD 2004 VBA - A programmer's referenceand~ i try to follow it as much as possible. what im finding hard is its not basic enough....for me that is :oops:  i would like to see something broken down for TheSwamp users like the lisp course. i know these things take time and talent so i dont know if a request for such a thing would be accepted or acceptable for that matter. but i would very much appreciate the source of knowledge and the opprotunity to endulge in the language......basicly, if someone would find gratification in sharing there know-how with me and its free....i am interested. especially when it could make my job faster, and more accurate....and free like i already said. i am interested.

OK, I guess I'll go public with what I'm doing.  Jonesy had expressed an intrest a while back to learn VBA, and since no one jumped on it, I said I would help her.  I'm putting together a small do-it-your-self-at-your-own-pace seminar based on what I know. (Which isn't much, but I tried to help)
I am currently putting together what I call a primer which starts with some concepts needed that I learned from VB, and apply that to VBA

Sometimes the question is more important than the answer. (Thanks Kerry for reminding me)

CmdrDuh, You are aware of the Learning Center, are you not? If not, talk to Mark. If so, sorry for jumping to conclusions.

Daron, I did not, and I have never tried logging into it.  No problem, as I'm still learning my way around TheSwamp

If you are looking for some very basic tutorials on how to get started, and learning some of the basic concepts, you could also try Afralisp.com.  They have some beginner's tutorials on using VBA inside of AutoCAD.

Duh is good at these training setups, and if the rest of you also want a basic tutorial on getting AutoCAD to talk to outside programs (Access, Excel, etc....) then I'd be more than happy to write something up for you guys.

Talk to Mark about setting something up, if you're interested in setting up a course. They are by invitation only as I understand it, at this point.
